Actress Ellen Page has been granted a restraining order against a man who set up home in her front yard. The Juno star called police on Tuesday (03Feb15) after discovering Jordan Dillard on her California property, where he had allegedly turned her carport - a car storage unit - into a make-shift camp, complete with bedding, a cell phone and a laptop, among other belongings.
Page, who had been out of town, became alarmed after the stranger began knocking on her windows and banging on her front door, reports TMZ.com.
Dillard was arrested for trespassing and Page's lawyers headed straight to court to apply for a protective order.
A judge has since approved the request and ordered the suspect to stay 100 yards (91.44 metres) away from the star and her home.
Dillard has pleaded no contest to the trespassing charge.

Doesn’t it seem like just yesterday when we watched Nick Jonas on the Disney Channel with his mop of curly hair, jamming out with his brothers? Now he’s got a big solo career, an important role as a closeted gay MMA fighter on DirecTV’s Kingdom, and, um, a killer bod. He’s a bonafide sex symbol – for girls and guys! We’re still shocked by it. So for your enjoyment, here’s a list of all the times Nick’s abs snuck up on us and reminded us that he’s a man now.

Celebrities can either be notoriously rude/standoffish or exceedingly generous to their devoted fans. On one hand we don't blame them, because some fans can do creepy stuff, but on the other hand, we love a celeb who appreciates the people that got them to where they are. These celebrities went above and beyond (and some have several times) for their fans.

Actors Blake Lively, Zac Efron, and Emma Watson are among the young celebrities who have been recognised for their impact on Hollywood in Forbes magazine's 30 Under 30 list for 2015. New mother Lively, 27, has been lauded for her foray into entrepreneurship with new lifestyle website Preserve, while Efron proved his staying power by going from High School Musical star to blockbuster film actor.
Harry Potter actress Watson's contributions outside the industry made waves last year (14) after she gave a powerful speech on feminism as a United Nations Woman Goodwill Ambassador, while Ellen Page has been praised for 'coming out' as gay last February (14).
Other celebrities on the list include Keira Knightley, Ansel Elgort, Rooney Mara and Emma Stone.

Mark Hamill sent Star Wars fans into a frenzy when he was revealed as the secret cast member at the live reading of The Empire Strikes Back on Thursday night (18Dec14).
Director and Live Read series organizer Jason Reitman had previously announced that Breaking Bad star Aaron Paul would be playing Luke Skywalker and J.K. Simmons would portray Darth Vader at the performance in Los Angeles. Reitman had kept the remainder of the cast a secret, and fans leaped to their feet and screamed when he introduced Hamill, the original Luke Skywalker, onto the stage to play two roles - the evil Emperor Palpatine and Jedi warrior Obi Wan-Kenobi.
The cast was rounded out by Jessica Alba as Princess Leia, Ellen Page as Han Solo, The Office star Rainn Wilson as Chewbacca, and Stephen Merchant as C-3PO. Reitman contributed whistling and beeping noises as the R2-D2 droid.
In the Live Read series, the cast is not allowed to prepare ahead of the performance and the actors first read the script onstage.

Taylor Swift and Ellen Page were among the honourees at the 2014 Cosmopolitan Ultimate Women Awards on Wednesday night (03Dec14). Some of the world's most influential females were feted by editors of the U.K. publication during a ceremony at One Mayfair in London.
Just one day after headlining the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show, Swift was on hand to receive the Ultimate International Music Star prize, while Page was given the Ultimate Inspiration award for "coming out" as gay earlier this year (14).
Meanwhile, Swift's good friend and Girls star Lena Dunham was given the Ultimate Writer accolade, Game of Thrones actress Natalie Dormer was handed Ultimate Breakthrough Actress, and former Spice Girls singer Melanie Brown was awarded the Ultimate TV Personality, thanks to her current stint as a judge on The X Factor.
The males were not completely left out of the prizegiving - Samuel L. Jackson was feted with the Ultimate International Man of the Year trophy and British pop rockers McBusted were named Ultimate Men of the Year.

Juno star Ellen Page has been honoured as Out Magazine's Entertainer of the Year for her bravery in 'coming out' earlier this year (14).
The actress declared her sexuality during a speech at the Human Rights Campaign's Time To Thrive conference in Las Vegas on Valentines Day (14Feb14). Page has now been awarded for her bravery by editors of the gay magazine, who have named her Entertainer of the Year and featured her on one of four celebrity covers for the publication's annual OUT100 double issue.
Page tells the publication, "No one's ever been so direct as to say, 'You're gay, so we're gonna hide it.' But there's an unspoken thing going on. (People) believe it's the right thing to do for your career. They don't realize it's eroding your soul. It was eventually about me being like, 'Wait, why am I listening to that? At what point did I let those things become important?'"
British singer Sam Smith was named Breakout of the Year, actor Zachary Quinto was awarded Artist of the Year and Orange is the New Black actress Samira Wiley received Ingenue of the Year.
The stars all feature on the magazine's other three covers.

Actor Kevin Spacey has been left amazed by all of the hard work that went into turning him into a video game star for the new Call Of Duty release, insisting the process was unlike anything he's ever done before. The American Beauty star agreed to loan his voice and image to developers at Sledgehammer Games, who recreated Spacey in graphics form to appear as protagonist Jonathan Irons, the unhinged leader of a global private military firm in Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare.
Spacey signed on for the project before he had even seen a script and he admits it was a risky move, telling USA Today, "It was a leap of faith, because they were going to have me help them develop it as it went along."
However, the actor insists he thoroughly enjoyed learning all about the hi-tech process, which involved using high-resolution cameras to capture his facial features and moves on an empty soundstage.
And he is so in awe at the finished product, he has even started playing the game himself, ahead of its release next week (begs03Nov14).
He explains, "I'm not a gamer, I haven't played a lot, but I've just started to play this one...
"It was an incredible experience to do it. I think maybe I'm the third actor that's ever done it. I think Ellen Page and Willem Dafoe did it (a few) years ago, but now the technology is so incredible that you look at it, and it's me, only the way we did it is unlike any other experience I've ever had."
Describing the outfit he had to wear for the shoot, he says, "I'm wearing a black jumpsuit... they put dots on your face and that's a helmet that's got a camera on it that's now photographing my face, and there's about 50 cameras in an empty studio.
"Normally you go to make-up and hair and you come onto a set that they've built and you have props, but in this case, I literally like, I would stand on a box and they would say, 'OK, put your hand on this pole... like this, and then we want you to walk down those boxes to that chair, and then say your lines.'
"I go, 'OK', but I would look over to their monitor, where they had already rendered the world, to a certain degree, and I wasn't rendered yet, so I was just a figure in it, but no, I wasn't standing on a box, I was standing in a helicopter, holding the roof of a helicopter. I step off the helicopter, I get into a Jeep and it drives away. I'm like, 'What the f**k?!'"
Page and Dafoe starred in interactive action-adventure Beyond: Two Souls, which was released on the PlayStation 3 last year (13).

We've watched their characters fall in love on the big screen and in our living rooms. We cried as we watched them endure heartache and unrequited love. We cheered when someone made the first move and they overcame obstacles. Who says true love can only happen in the movies? Here are 14 pairs of actors we believe have too much chemistry and history to not be together in real life. We must wait patiently until they realize their happy ending.
14. Keira Knightely and Orlando Bloom

It was there tortured, forbidden relationship in Pirates of the Carribean that hooked us in 2003. The beautiful pair couldn't stay away despite the difficult circumstances. If nothing else is worth it, they should get together just because the kids would have great hair.
13. Ellen Pompeo and Patrick Dempsey
staywithmeforever.tumblr.com
In so many ways, Grey's Anatomy is one of the most heart-breaking shows out there. With characters like Izzie Stevens and Lexie Grey undergoing so much loss, it was important to have Meredith and Derek to cheer us up. We think Patrick's silliness would be the perfect balance to Ellen's toughness!
12. Jenna Fischer and John Krasinski
lynnas.tumblr.com
It's this couple that we got so attached to when they were on TV, we can't let them go We've grown with Pam and Jim over the years and gotten to watch their relationship unfold. We beg you, Jenna and John, to grant us that same pleasure again!
11. Ellen Page and Michael Cera
briansgifs.tumblr.com
In Juno, Ellen and Michael play an adorably young and naive pair that despite everything, really cared for one another. The actors' quirky personalities and sweet dispositions would work just as well in real life, in our opinions. Ellen's recent coming out speech, though eloquently said and so touching, may pose a problem for this pair.
10. Laura Prepon and Taylor Schilling
GIPHY/tumblr.com
On-screen, Piper and Alex cannot get away from one another. Despite their ability to poorly influence each other, the two are drawn to each other. Laura even admits that the chemistry with Taylor is there when she interviewed with After Ellen. Here's to hoping the same magnetic pull is between the two actresses!
9. Jennifer Aniston and David Scwimmer
obsessiondot.tumblr.com
Ross waited so long for Rachel to love him in Friends ,that we're not giving up hope on this one. Even though it's been 20 years since Friends aired, we believe in the powerful and patient love that David and Jennifer will one day experience!
8. Leighton Meester and Ed Westwick
only-gossip-girl.tumblr.com
One of TV's most monumental couples was the once-surprising pair of Blair Waldorf and Chuck Bass. At first Blair's high maintenance and Chucks elusiveness made them seem destined for failure, but they defied obstacle after obstacle and ended up together. How do they not see that Leighton's sweet feminity and Ed's tough masculinity would be optimal?
7. Kate Winslet and Leonardo DiCaprio
reeses24241.tumblr.com
A favorite couple of all times, Kate and Leonardo's chemistry is evident time and time again. Whether it's their long-time friendship or Kate's comment that "Leo is my love of my life," we can't let go of the talented and beautiful pair.
6. Daniel Radcliffe and Emma Watson
vaguetruths.tumblr.com
This one is less because of the actors chemistry together, but more for the fantasy of Harry and Hermoine dating in real life. The fictional couple was so important to so many as they were growing up, that we believe Emma and Daniel should suck it up and date for the fans!
5. Zoey Deschanel and Joseph Gordon-Levitt
feellng.com
This quirky pair has felt right since they starred in (500) Days of Summer together. According to HelloGiggles, Zoey's website, the pair have know each other since 2000. They even sang in a YouTube video together. If the way they make music is any indicator of their relationship success, we can tell you it's going to be beautiful.
4. Amy Poehler and Adam Scott
theteenagegentleman.tumblr
Ben and Leslie proved that friendship is the the best foundation for any relationship. The wedding episode as well as the entire "I love you, and I like you" concept has taken the viewers by storm. Amy said in a recent Q&amp;A with Reddit that she thinks Adam "is a great actor, he's a great kisser, has a GREAT head of hair," so maybe her infatuation can grow with time like Leslie's did.
3. Alyson Hannigan and Jason Segel
thingsilove747.tumblr.com
Throughout the many seasons of How I Met Your Mother, Lily and Marshall remained one of the most stable and fun couples on TV. They were never overly romantic and were always being goofy with each other. Alyson and Jason's humor and comfort with each other after nine seasons must be able to translate outside of work.
2. Julia Roberts and Richard Gere
otfilms.tumblr.com
Between Runaway Bride and Pretty Woman, this unstoppable pair had us truly feeling the depths of their on-screen love. Richard's characters were always taken by Julia's characters' spirit and joy, so we don't see why that would change off set!
1. Rachel McAdams and Ryan Gosling
kissing-heaven.tumblr
The Notebook has gone down as one of the most-beloved romance movies of our time. For good reason! Rachel and Ryan's passion and chemistry with one another is unmistakable. The pair even reinacted their kiss when they won the MTV Best Kiss Award in 2005 and as well as dated until 2007. Sorry, Eva Mendes, but these too are clearly meant to be.

Summary

With such diverse roles in both the disturbing indie film "Hard Candy" (2006) and the more mainstream summer blockbuster "X-Men: The Last Stand" (2006), actress Ellen Page primed herself to make a major splash with her star-making turn in the surprise indie hit, "Juno" (2007), in which she played a sharp-witted high school teen who becomes pregnant and decides to give up the baby for adoption. Page's performance as the titular spitfire earned rave reviews and an Oscar nomination for Best Actress. Despite the massive attention she received from "Juno," Page chose to stay in the indie world, appearing alongside Sarah Jessica Parker and Thomas Haden Church in "Smart People" (2008), and starring in Drew Barrymore's directing debut "Whip It" (2009). From there, she starred opposite Leonardo DiCaprio in a major blockbuster, "Inception" (2010), a mind-bending action thriller from Christopher Nolan that earned widespread praise and amassed a serious amount of worldwide box office. But true to form, the indie-minded Page returned to the small films with the superhero comedy "Super" (2011), proving that she was an actress as talented as she was unpredictable.

Notes

"I'm so grateful to be from Halifax. In L.A. people's heads get caught up in this silly world. It's like 'You're making movies. Congrats, but please calm down. Have you seen the world lately?'" – Page to People, April 24, 2006

"I always had a huge imagination and played these elaborate games in my mind. I've been really blessed that I've gotten to travel and put it into action." – Page to Interview magazine, June 2007

"It's funny," she said with a sly half-smile. "I do what I do and obviously some people don't like it and then there's certain people that have responded well to different performances and it's just - it's a weird thing. It's something I can't really describe. It's something I feel like is already there, you know? It's just about finding it and pulling it out. 'Cause we all feel the same stuff." – Page to The Los Angeles Times, Dec. 2, 2007

"I hesitate about having aspirations that are too intense, because I just don't know what's going to happen. As corny as it sounds, I guess the answer would be remaining as honest as possible and having the control to play roles that are fulfilling and challenging to me and that I feel passionate about. And I hope, in the next five years, that's going to be something I'll be able to do consistently." – Page on her future aspirations, to actress Drew Barrymore from Interview magazine, March 2008

Publicly came out in a speech to Time To THRIVE, a conference for LGBT youth, on Valentine's Day 2014 in Las Vegas.
